How the Koch-Chemie Polishing System Works
Koch-Chemie uses a simple numbering system: higher numbers mean more cut. Match your compound to the right pad for best results:
| Defect Level | Compound | Recommended Pad |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy (deep scratches, sanding marks) | H9.02 Heavy Cut | Heavy Cut Pad |
| Moderate (swirls, light scratches) | F6.01 Fine Cut | Fine Cut Pad |
| Light (minor swirls, hazing) | P6.02 One Cut & Finish | One Cut Pad |
| Finishing (holograms, final gloss) | M3.02 or P3.01 | Micro Cut Pad |

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between H9.02, F6.01, and M3.02?
H9.02 is the most aggressive (cut level 9) for heavy defects and sanding marks. F6.01 is medium (cut level 6) for moderate swirls and one-step work. M3.02 is a fine finishing polish (cut level 3) for removing haze and maximizing gloss. Most corrections use 2-3 steps: cut → refine → finish.
Can I do a one-step correction?
Yes. P6.02 One Cut & Finish or F6.01 Fine Cut can often achieve acceptable results in one step on newer vehicles or softer paints. For harder clear coats or heavy defects, multi-step correction produces better results.
Are these compounds silicone-free?
Yes, all Koch-Chemie polishing compounds are silicone-oil-free. They're safe for body shop use and won't interfere with coating adhesion.
What size pad should I use?
Match your pad size to your polisher's backing plate. Koch-Chemie pads are available in 2", 3", 5", and 6" sizes. Smaller pads are better for tight areas; larger pads cover more surface area efficiently.
Do I need a DA or rotary polisher?
Both work. Dual-action (DA) polishers are more forgiving for beginners. Rotary polishers offer more cut but require more experience. Koch-Chemie compounds work well with either type.
What do I do after polishing?
Wipe with Panel Prep Spray to remove polishing oils, then apply protection (sealant, wax, or ceramic coating) to lock in the finish.
